Gentle Beast [Entertainment Circle] - Chapter 87
87
The older a person is, the weaker the taste.
Ye Liuying had long passed the age of looking forward to the New Year.
I remember that the years when she first arrived at the Ye family were pretty good,
There are no other children in the Ye family, so she can only put extra care on her head.
She was also looking forward to the New Year at that time.
Meng Meiling will take her shopping to buy new clothes and new shoes, Ye Zhicheng will also give her gifts, and on New Year’s Eve, she will receive red envelopes and order fairy sticks in the courtyard.
Then in the early morning of the first day of the new year, she would put on new clothes to find her playmate, and on the second day of the first year, she would go to Meng Linzhou’s house to pay New Year’s greetings.
Leaving aside the yin and yang strangeness and cynical Chen Mei, that was Ye Liuying’s happiest days in the Ye family.
Later, she was like sitting on a slide and fell to the bottom.
But this year has a very different memory for Ye Liuying, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a bright willow.
Early in the morning of New Year’s Eve, Pei Xuening happily took Ye Liuying and wrote a couplet in the study.
“I didn’t feel in the mood in previous years. It would be good to have you this year.” Pei Xuening took out the couplet paper and other tools, and her tone was full of yearning for life.
Ye Liuying leaned against Pei Xuening and rubbed, “I will have me every year in the future, don’t think I’m annoying.”
“Why do you dislike you?” Pei Xuening glared at Ye Liuying immediately.
The little princess in her family wore a taro purple one-piece button dress. The knitted texture is very close-fitting, and the lace on the cufflinks and skirt is full of girlish heart.
With the candy-colored heart-shaped necklace she wears around her neck, the whole person is like a flower bathed in the spring sun.
If the shoulders are really cut, the waist is like a plain, a frown and a smile are enough to make people’s heart tremble.
“I’m afraid you will marry into someone else’s house in two years.” Pei Xuening looked at Ye Liuying and came to a conclusion with some resentment.
“Mom~” Shen Xingzhou’s figure jumped out of Ye Liuying’s mind instantly.
There was shyness on her jade-like face, which added a vivid flavor to this beauty.
“I saw that this child Zhouzhou was all focused on you. He didn’t rely on the family, he was busy with his own business, and he seldom stayed here in previous years, that is, he ran away for you.” Pei Xuening observed Shen Xing After a while, Zhou couldn’t understand his intentions any more. “When your grandfather was alive, he joked that he wanted to marry you…”
But as she talked, the conversation changed again, “The people of Zhouzhou are good, but the situation in their family is a little more complicated.”
Ye Liuying’s calligraphy only learned a little, she took a piece of rice paper and was about to write, but was attracted by Pei Xuening’s words.
“Have you seen the Shen family?” Pei Xuening was afraid that Ye Liuying would be wronged, “Zhong Ji will host a dinner party to introduce you, and then their family will come, and mother will help you to check the situation.”
Although Pei Xuening has not attended many events in recent years, the news is still well-informed.
Mr. Shen’s health has not been as good as before in the past two years, but he seems to despise his three children and firmly holds the management power.
The outside world speculated that he wanted to wait for Shen Xingzhou to return before handing over the company to him, so there was a lot of infighting.
“It’s not up to this point yet.” Ye Liuying almost thought that the next movie was going to be about marriage, but wasn’t she just about love?
“Silly child.” Pei Xuening adjusted the ink, and shook his head with a light smile, “Do you think their family doesn’t know you? With the love of Mr. Shen for Zhouzhou, I’m afraid I wish you two got married sooner. Zhouzhou and his father The relationship is not good, and his uncle is not a good one, for fear that one day the old man will give all his property to Zhouzhou.”
Ye Liuying also thinks this is the reason, “I’ve only seen Sister Shen.”
“How does Shen Zhining treat you?” Pei Xuening was a little surprised.
“Sister Shen is very good to me.” With Gu Fan’s backing, Ye Liuying’s impression of Shen Zhining has always been good.
“Shen Zhining is a good person.”
Pei Xuening’s impression of Shen Xingzhou was a little better. “You can see other people in the future. I’ve thought about it too much, and Zhouzhou should take care of it for you in advance.”
Ye Liuying didn’t say yes or no, but she already acquiesced in her heart.
She believed in Shen Xingzhou.
Agarwood was lit in the study, and the slow and long aroma diffused in the air.
Pei Xuening picked up the pen and wrote the couplet, and when she turned her head and saw Ye Liuying’s big characters, she smiled with relief, “You need to practice this character more. If you are interested, write it for half an hour every day.”
“It doesn’t look good.” Ye Liuying was very self-aware.
She herself is not good at learning, and she has not written for a long time, and her writing skills are not enough.
“If your grandfather is here, I must tell you.” Pei Xuening said.
Ye Liuying looked at Pei Xuening’s elegant and delicate hairpin, and asked curiously, “Is there any grandpa’s calligraphy? I want to see it.”
“It’s on the painting and calligraphy vat, you can take it out and take a look.” Pei Xuening pointed to the blue and white and green lotus ceramic painting and calligraphy vat not far away, and said with a smile.
Ye Liuying picked up one of the rolls.
She seemed to know Pei Xuening’s intention to take her to write the couplet, so maybe she was waiting for her here.
“Writing couplets?” Zhong Ji appeared at the door of the study and looked at them at some point, looking carefully at his face as if there was a slight smile on his face.
Pei Xuening put away the pen and ignored him.
Zhong Ji should have been used to this kind of treatment.
He walked over to himself and looked at the calligraphy in Ye Liuying’s hand, “I haven’t seen my father’s words for a long time.”
Ye Liuying turned around and saw the nostalgia in Zhong Ji’s eyes.
He didn’t plan to go out today, and the gray hooded sweater he was wearing made him look much younger.
Rarely refreshing.
Ye Liuying forgot to react for a while
“I just have time today, so I’ll write one too.” Zhong Ji quickly retracted his gaze and walked to the desk with his long legs.
Pei Xuening took a half step back, and his eyes fell on his hand.
Zhong Ji’s calligraphy was instructed by Mr. Zhong since he was a child.
What he wrote was “Vientiane has turned with the new green, Sanyang Kaitai Family Fun”, and the horizontal criticism is family happiness.
One-handed, sleek and powerful thin gold body, coupled with the red-backed platinum couplet paper, the effect is very good.
However, Pei Xuening said, “How long have you not written?”
Writing Spring Festival couplets is a tradition of the Zhong family.
But in the past few years, the relationship between Zhong Ji and Pei Xuening has been tense, and naturally they have no leisure to write couplets.
Under the influence of Mr. Zhong, Zhong Ji regularly practiced calligraphy.
Pei Xuening is very familiar with his words, and even if he hasn’t read it for a few years, he finds a little difference.
“It’s been a year or two.” Zhong Ji didn’t dare to look at Pei Xuening, and his always stern face froze.
Ye Liuying’s gaze shifted between them, her expression showing no joy or anger.
She had found out that Zhong Ji had the lowest status in their family of three.
She didn’t like him at first.
I don’t know why, but seeing Zhong Ji shriveled, she didn’t seem to be so bored with him anymore.
Pei Xuening didn’t say anything.
She took out another stack of red paper and asked Zhong Ji to write the word “Fu” in a different font.
So Ye Liuying watched helplessly as Zhong Ji wrote at least dozens of “Fu” characters of various sizes.
After drying, Pei Xuening took Ye Liuying to stick it up.
The typical trousers do not recognize people.
Zhong Ji was not angry either, and followed behind them unhurriedly.
He was afraid that Ye Liuying would fall, so he took the initiative to take on the task of sticking couplets.
Ye Liuying looked at Pei Xuening’s look, and when she saw that she had no response, she handed the paper over.
“Post it a little higher… eh, it’s crooked, move to the left.” Ye Liuying stood back and directed Zhong Ji.
Pei Xuening watched the interaction between the father and daughter with a complicated expression.
“Okay?” Zhong Ji was called for a while, but he rarely lost his temper.
Ye Liuying tilted her head to look at it, and nodded after a while, “It’s alright.”
“Why are you so leisurely today?” Just as she was about to leave, she felt her body pressed against a chest.
“I miss you.” Shen Xingzhou couldn’t reach out to hug her, but he was very close, and Ye Liuying was tormented by the ambiguous breathing when he spoke.
Uncle Wu and the driver Xiao Wang, who were behind him, were stunned.
Uncle Wu was the housekeeper of the Shen family’s old house. Today, he was ordered by Shen Xingzhou to bring fresh high-grade fruits and various ingredients to the Zhong’s house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw his young master playing a hooligan.
good guy.
The young master actually has a girl he likes.
“Cough cough.” Ye Liuying pushed Shen Xingzhou away with a blushing face, and was sighing at his thick skin, Pei Xuening coughed twice, “Come here, why do you bring so many things?”
“It’s embarrassing to keep coming here to eat rice.” Shen Xingzhou replied.
? Ye Liuying didn’t see any embarrassment in him.
“Come in first.” Zhong Ji put the couplet on, looked at Shen Xingzhou and turned his back.
Ye Liuying pushed Shen Xingzhou’s arm and asked him in a low voice, “Aren’t you busy at home today?”
“There is still time to see you.” Shen Xingzhou raised his eyebrows and grabbed Ye Liuying’s hand.
Ye Liuying was used to listening to Shen Xingzhou’s rude words, and he caught Pei Xuening’s gaze from the corner of his light, and let go of his hand without hesitation.
“Mom, let’s go in too.” She smiled at Pei Xuening coquettishly.
Shen Xingzhou brought too many things.
The two of them moved three times before they finished moving.
Shen Xingzhou seemed to be here simply to deliver something, and after sitting for a while, he got up and said goodbye.
Of course, in the end, he abducted Ye Liuying and gave him away.
The sun was just right, they strolled in the ecological garden of the community, and the picture was beautiful.
“Do you get along well with Zhong Ji?” Shen Xingzhou recalled the scene he saw when he entered the door.
“Let’s be so-so.” Ye Liuying had mixed feelings about Zhong Ji.
If it weren’t for the mess that Pei Xueqing made, she might like Zhong Ji as a father.
Too bad there is no such thing in this world.
“I’m nothing, it’s just that my mother seems to still have feelings for Zhong Ji.” Ye Liuying guessed, “Although she always acts like she doesn’t care.”
“Then do you think Zhong Ji can be changed?” Shen Xingzhou asked rhetorically.
Zhong Ji sent Pei Xueqing to prison without hesitation, and didn’t seem to care too much about Zhong Shen.
In recent years, Pei Xuening has treated him very badly, and Shen Xingzhou even suspected that Zhong Ji used Pei Xueqing as a substitute.
“I don’t know.” Ye Liuying had no idea.
“Aunt Pei is very similar to you.” If you are ruthless, I will quit.
“Did you say the opposite?”
“I met you first.” Shen Xingzhou half wrapped his arms around Ye Liuying’s slender waist and insisted, “No way.”
Ye Liuying chuckled, “Let’s go.”
“I’ve traveled through most of the city to see you, so you won’t give me some reward?” Shen Xingzhou held her tightly.
“I asked you to come?” Ye Liuying asked deliberately.
“Well, you didn’t.”
“I want to come, and I want to be rewarded.”
Shen Xingzhou hooked his lips and lowered his head to kiss him.
